Vol. 384 No. 7

Written Answers. - Working Conditions for the Blind.

67.

asked the Minister for Health in view of the accumulation of circumstances which has led to the cancellation of the project to build a national centre for the blind, the steps he is taking to provide adequate working conditions for blind people employed by the Board for Employment of the Blind in the Rathmines workshops, Dublin 6, having regard to the fact that workers would not agree to the sale of the premises without adequate new premises being purchased.

I recently met the members of the board and arranged for discussions with officials of my Department about the board's operations, including possible options in relation to its premises.
